A thick slab of pan-fried duck foie gras with Granny Smith apple chutney; fillet of beef, new potatoes; game in season: this family-run château restaurant serves heart-warming food that adds the occasional contemporary spin to a patriotic line-up of French recipes. The historic château, set in the Meuse Valley and originally a Benedictine monastery, is magnificent with mouldings, old parquet floors, and plush drapes.
